In Syria, new cruel clashes erupted, accompanied by massacres. According to the Syrian Center for Monitoring of Human Rights, in the coastal provinces of Tartus and Latakia, more than 1000 people were killed, of which 700 civilians were killed.
According to reports, most of the victims were shot by the fighters of the new government under the leadership of Ahmed al-Sharaa, who was overthrown in Bashar al-Assad in December 2024. The Syrian government denies these accusations and calls them “unconfirmed.”
The Israeli authorities, in turn, sharply condemned the actions of the new Syrian leadership.
They were jihadists and remain them, even if they wear costumes. Europe should stop giving the legitimacy of the regime, which began its rule from these atrocities, ”says the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Israeli Gideon Saar in an interview with Bild.
He criticized European politicians for their desire to establish contacts with Ash Sharaa, emphasizing that the new regime in Syria “has already demonstrated its true essence.”
The battles began on Thursday, March 6, when Assad supporters killed several government troops. As a result, hostilities spread to several regions, where the Alava minority lives, which belongs to Assade itself.
According to eyewitnesses, in the places of residence of the armed fighter Alavites, they went at home, shot people, set fire to buildings and stolen cars.
Bashar al -Assad, who retained power in Syria since 2000, fled from Moscow after the fall of his regime. At the same time, his supporters say, also participate in recent murders: according to human rights activists, they dealt with more than hundred representatives of the security forces of the new government.
